[0023] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention may include the following beneficial effects:

[0024] In some embodiments of the present invention, the terminal device or server can display a pointing indicator (e.g., an arrow) based on a first preset touch operation (e.g., long-pressing the identifier of object A) applied to a first game object identifier. Then, based on a second preset touch operation (e.g., a swipe operation), the pointing indicator is controlled to point from the first game object identifier (e.g., the identifier of object A) to the second game object identifier (e.g., the identifier of object B). That is, the arrow is controlled to point from the identifier of object A to the identifier of object B based on the user's swipe operation. A labeling information area is then displayed within a preset range of the pointing indicator to output information indicating the correspondence between the first and second game objects (e.g., object A is the younger brother of object B). The pointing distance is greater than a preset distance, which can be the product of the distance between the first and second game object identifiers and a preset percentage (e.g., 60%). According to the above description, the present invention, on the one hand, can overcome the problem of high difficulty for users to memorize object relationships through reading text, thereby improving user experience and increasing user engagement. On the other hand, it can provide an output method for the correspondence between objects based on the interaction between the user and the terminal device, increasing interest and further enhancing user engagement.

[0032] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a computer system suitable for implementing embodiments of the present invention is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0033] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the invention will be more thorough and complete, and will fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0034] Furthermore, the described features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. Numerous specific details are provided in the following description to give a full understanding of embodiments of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the technical solutions of the invention can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or other methods, components, apparatuses, steps, etc., can be employed. In other instances, well-known methods, apparatuses, implementations, or operations are not shown or described in detail to avoid obscuring various aspects of the invention.

[0035] The block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are merely functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically independent entities. That is, these functional entities can be implemented in software, in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different network and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0036] The flowcharts shown in the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative and do not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor do they necessarily have to be performed in the described order. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, while others can be combined or partially combined; therefore, the actual execution order may change depending on the specific circumstances.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The illustration shows a flowchart of an information annotation method in a game according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information annotation method in the game can be implemented by a server or a terminal device (such as a mobile terminal). The content displayed on the touch screen of the mobile terminal includes at least a first game object identifier and a second game object identifier.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, an information annotation method in a game according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps S110, S120, and S130, wherein:

[0039] Step S110: In response to a first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier, display a pointing identifier.

[0040] Step S120: Respond to the second preset touch operation, and control the pointing direction and pointing distance of the pointing mark according to the second preset touch operation.

[0041] Step S130: In response to the pointing direction of the pointing icon being from the first game object icon to the second game object icon and the pointing distance being greater than a preset distance, display the annotation information area within the preset range of the pointing icon. The annotation information area can be used to receive information input.

[0042] The following provides a detailed explanation of each step:

[0043] In step S110, the first preset touch operation can be a user long-press (e.g., tap for a duration longer than a preset duration) on an object identifier, or a user tap on an object identifier; this embodiment of the invention is not limited to either. Furthermore, the pointing identifier can be an identifier with pointing functionality, such as an arrow. Optionally, when the terminal device or server detects the first preset touch operation, it can output a pointing identifier as the starting point of the operation area corresponding to the first preset touch operation, and this pointing identifier points to an area other than the operation area.

[0044] In step S120, the second preset touch operation can be a swipe operation, i.e., swiping from the area where the first game object identifier is located to the area where the second game object identifier is located. When a swipe operation is detected, the terminal device or server can control the pointing identifier to point from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier according to the swipe trajectory corresponding to the swipe operation; wherein, the first game object identifier and the second game object identifier can be an identifier, a preset area, a static image, a dynamic image, or text information, and this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, the pointing direction can be a direction determined according to the swipe direction, and the pointing distance can be a distance determined according to the swipe distance.

[0045] In step S130, optionally, the method for displaying the annotation information area within a preset range of the pointing indicator can be as follows: when the terminal device or server controls the pointing indicator to point from the first game object indicator to the second game object indicator, a correspondence representing the relationship between the first and second game object indicators can be determined from multiple preset correspondences, and then an annotation information area including this correspondence information can be displayed within the preset range of the pointing indicator. Furthermore, the preset distance can be the product of the distance between the first and second game object indicators and a preset percentage (e.g., 60%), meaning that annotation information can be displayed as long as the distance swiped by the user is greater than 60% of the total distance. The annotation information area is the area where annotation information is output, and the annotation information is used to represent the correspondence between the first and second game objects.

[0046] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to TRPG games on terminal devices. Users select two players whose relationship they want to know based on multiple player identifiers displayed on the terminal device, and trigger the terminal device to output information indicating the relationship between the two players through a first preset touch operation and a second preset touch operation.

[0047] It is evident that implementation Figure 1 The information output method shown can overcome the problem that it is difficult for users to remember the relationships between objects by reading text, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user engagement. In addition, it provides an output method for the correspondence between objects based on the interaction between the user and the terminal device, which increases the fun and further enhances user engagement.

[0048] As another optional implementation, displaying a labeling information area within a preset range of the pointing marker includes: obtaining labeling information between a first game object corresponding to a first game object identifier and a second game object corresponding to a second game object identifier; if the labeling information is empty, displaying a labeling information input control in the labeling information area; if the labeling information is not empty, displaying the labeling information in the labeling information area. The labeling information may be information previously entered by the player, which may be stored on a server or in this device.

[0049] In one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the annotation information input control is used to instruct the user to input information and to receive the user's input information.

[0050] As can be seen, by implementing this optional implementation method, users can customize the correspondence between game objects to enhance their gaming experience.

[0051] As another optional implementation, responding to the pointing direction of the pointing identifier from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier includes: determining and outputting a pointing animation corresponding to the pointing identifier based on the pointing direction and pointing distance, wherein the pointing animation is used to indicate that the pointing identifier points from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier.

[0052] In this embodiment of the invention, the pointing animation can show the size change of the pointing icon so that the pointing icon points from the first game object icon to the second game object icon. For example, the output can show the pointing animation of the arrow icon changing from short to long so that the arrow icon points from the first game object icon to the second game object icon.

[0053] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can make the pointer pointer point from the first object to the second object by outputting a dynamic graph, which provides a way to show the correspondence between objects, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user stickiness.

[0054] As another optional implementation method, the information annotation method in the game may also include: changing the current state of the annotation information from a display state to an edit state based on user operation.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, the user operation can be clicking on information output by the terminal device or server, or it can be a non-touch voice operation or a non-touch gesture operation; this embodiment of the invention is not limited thereto. When a user operation is detected, the terminal device or server can change the display state of the labeled information to an editing state, wherein the editing state can be understood as a state that facilitates the user to add and / or delete the content of the information.

[0056] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can provide a way to modify the relationship between objects, so that users can modify the relationship when an error occurs or modify the relationship for easier memorization.

[0057] As another optional implementation method, the information annotation method in the game also includes: updating the annotation information according to the editing operation when the annotation information is in the editing state.

[0058] In this embodiment of the invention, the editing operation can be an operation by which a user adds and / or deletes information. The terminal device or server can update the information according to the editing operation. For example, if the first game object is the younger brother of the second game object, and the user deletes the corresponding relationship of the younger brother and adds the corresponding relationship of the older brother through the editing operation, then the terminal device or server can, according to the editing operation, set the first game object as the older brother of the second game object as the new correspondence between the first game object and the second game object, so as to achieve the purpose of updating the information.

[0059] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can update the correspondence between objects by modifying the information, so that users can remember them, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user stickiness.

[0060] As another optional implementation, displaying a pointing indicator in response to a first preset touch operation applied to a first game object identifier includes: displaying a pointing indicator when the operation duration corresponding to the first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier is greater than a preset duration.

[0061] In this embodiment of the invention, if the first preset touch operation is a long press operation, the terminal device or server can detect whether the press duration corresponding to the long press operation is greater than the preset duration (e.g., two seconds). If it is greater, a pointing identifier is output.

[0062] As can be seen, by implementing this optional implementation method, the probability of outputting a directional indicator due to accidental touch by the user can be reduced by detecting and outputting a directional indicator for long-press operations.

[0063] As another optional implementation, displaying a pointing indicator in response to a first preset touch operation applied to a first game object identifier includes: displaying a pointing indicator when a first preset touch operation applied to a first game object identifier is detected in a preset area.

[0064] In this embodiment of the invention, the preset area can be an area used to trigger the terminal device to output a pointing identifier. The preset area may include a first game object identifier. If a first preset touch operation is detected within the preset area, it can be assumed that the user needs to understand the relationship between the first game object and another game object (e.g., the second game object). The device then outputs a pointing identifier to provide the user with annotation information representing the correspondence between the first and second game objects based on the second preset touch operation. The preset area is an area recognizable by the terminal device. When a user needs to understand the relationship between a game object and other game objects, they can perform a first preset touch operation within the preset area to understand the correspondence between objects through the pointing identifier.

[0065] It is evident that by implementing this optional implementation method, the probability of a poor user experience caused by the terminal device outputting a pointing indicator due to accidental touches can be reduced by detecting the first preset touch operation in the preset area.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The illustration shows an application scenario of displaying a pointing icon in response to a first preset touch operation applied to a first game object icon in a game information annotation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 It includes player A, player B, player C, player D and an arrow marker; wherein, player A, player B, player C and player D are all objects mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention. Player A, player B, player C and player D can be real objects or virtual objects. Each player plays a role in the game. The first object can be any one of player A, player B, player C and player D. The arrow marker can be the pointing marker mentioned in the embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 Taking player B as the first object as an example, the user can long press on player B's icon, and then the terminal device or server can output an arrow icon pointing to other areas besides the area where player B's icon is located.

[0067] visible, Figure 2 The diagram shown illustrates an application scenario where a first preset touch operation displays a pointing indicator in response to a first game object identifier. This indicator can output a pointing indicator through user interaction with the terminal device, and output the corresponding object relationship based on the user's subsequent operations, thereby improving the problem of users having difficulty remembering object relationships.

[0068] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3The illustration shows an application scenario in which the pointing direction of the response pointing identifier in the information annotation method in the game according to an embodiment of the present invention is from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier. This application scenario can be a TRPG game scenario. Figure 3 This includes player A, player B, player C, player D, and an arrow icon. When the terminal device or server detects a swipe operation input by the user (i.e., swiping from player B to player C), it can control the arrow icon to point from player B to player C. In other words, based on the second user operation, the pointing icon is controlled to point from the first object to the second object.

[0069] visible, Figure 3 The diagram illustrates an application scenario where the direction of the response pointer is from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier. This can enhance the fun of understanding the correspondence between objects through interaction between the user and the terminal device, improve the user's gaming experience, and thus increase user engagement.

[0070] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4 The illustration shows an application scenario of displaying an annotation information area within a preset range of a pointing marker in a game information annotation method according to an embodiment of the present invention. This application scenario can be a TRPG game scenario. Figure 4 This includes player A, player B, player C, player D, an arrow icon, and information indicating the correspondence between player B and player C. After the terminal device or server controls the arrow icon to point from player B to player C, information can be output. Figure 4 The information in this context refers to the younger brother, and this information is used to represent the correspondence between player B and player C.

[0071] visible, Figure 4 The illustration shown illustrates an application scenario where labeled information is displayed within a preset area of ​​a directional marker. This approach can, to some extent, overcome the difficulty users face in memorizing object relationships through reading text, thereby improving user experience and increasing user engagement. Furthermore, it provides an output method for the correspondence between objects based on the interaction between the user and the terminal device, adding interest and further enhancing user engagement.

[0072] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the structure of an information annotation device in a game according to an embodiment of the present invention. The information annotation device includes: a first touch operation response unit 501, a second touch operation response unit 502, and a third touch operation response unit 503.

[0073] The first touch operation response unit 501 is used to respond to a first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier and display a pointing identifier; the second touch operation response unit 502 is used to respond to a second preset touch operation and control the pointing direction and pointing distance of the pointing identifier according to the second preset touch operation; the third touch operation response unit 503 is used to respond to the pointing direction of the pointing identifier from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier and the pointing distance being greater than a preset distance, and display a labeling information area within a preset range of the pointing identifier; the labeling information area is used to receive information input.

[0074] Optionally, the second preset touch operation can be a swipe operation.

[0075] It is evident that implementation Figure 5 The information labeling device in the game shown can, to some extent, overcome the problem that it is difficult for users to remember the relationships between objects by reading text, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user engagement; and, based on the interaction between the user and the terminal device, it provides a way to output the correspondence between objects, increasing the fun and further enhancing user engagement.

[0076] As an optional implementation, the third touch operation response unit 503 displays the annotation information area within the preset range of the pointing mark in the following manner: the third touch operation response unit 503 obtains the annotation information between the first game object corresponding to the first game object mark and the second game object corresponding to the second game object mark; if the annotation information is empty, the annotation information input control is displayed in the annotation information area; if the annotation information is not empty, the annotation information is displayed in the annotation information area.

[0077] As can be seen, by implementing this optional implementation method, users can customize the correspondence between game objects to enhance their gaming experience.

[0078] As another optional implementation, the third touch operation response unit 503 responds to the pointing direction of the pointing identifier from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier in the following way: the third touch operation response unit 503 determines and outputs the pointing animation corresponding to the pointing identifier based on the pointing direction and pointing distance, wherein the pointing animation is used to indicate that the pointing identifier points from the first game object identifier to the second game object identifier.

[0079] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can make the pointer pointer point from the first object to the second object by outputting a dynamic graph, which provides a way to show the correspondence between objects, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user stickiness.

[0080] As another optional implementation, the information annotation device in the game also includes a state transition unit (not shown), wherein: the state transition unit is used to change the current state of the annotation information from the display state to the edit state according to the user's operation.

[0081] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can provide a way to modify the relationship between objects, so that users can modify the relationship when an error occurs or modify the relationship for easier memorization.

[0082] As another optional implementation, the information annotation device in the game also includes an information updating unit (not shown), wherein: the information updating unit is used to update the annotation information according to the editing operation when the annotation information is in the editing state.

[0083] As can be seen, implementing this optional implementation method can update the correspondence between objects by modifying the information, so that users can remember them, thereby improving the user experience and increasing user stickiness.

[0084] As another optional implementation, the first touch operation response unit 501 responds to the first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier, and the method of displaying the pointing identifier is as follows: when the operation duration corresponding to the first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier is greater than the preset duration, the first touch operation response unit 501 displays the pointing identifier.

[0085] As can be seen, by implementing this optional implementation method, the probability of outputting a directional indicator due to accidental touch by the user can be reduced by detecting and outputting a directional indicator for long-press operations.

[0086] As another optional implementation, the first touch operation response unit 501 responds to the first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier, and the method of displaying the pointing identifier is as follows: when the first preset touch operation applied to the first game object identifier is detected in the preset area, the first touch operation response unit 501 displays the pointing identifier.

[0087] It is evident that by implementing this optional implementation method, the probability of a poor user experience caused by the terminal device outputting a pointing indicator due to accidental touches can be reduced by detecting the first preset touch operation in the preset area.
